BMW M5 Reveal – the ultimate daily? | Hampshire

What would you have as your ultimate daily? We think for many, the BMW M5 makes for the perfect all-rounder; power, practicality, comfort and a level of wolf in sheep’s clothing?

Over the years the wolf has continued to lose its sheep’s clothing on this flagship 5-series and now barely resembles a sheep at all. However, power continues heading north and still has enough practicality to get you and 3 adults across continents in comfort and style.

We were excited to be invited by club partner Snows BMW, Portsmouth for an early reveal of the brand new BMW M5 while enjoying a delicious complimentary BBQ.

The BMW M5 is powering into a new era. With 40 years of history under its belt, the legendary high-performance sedan is entering its seventh model generation. And the executive model from BMW M GmbH now has an electrified drive system for the first time.

A model-specific version of the M HYBRID system gives the new BMW M5 (energy consumption, weighted, combined: 1,7 – 1,6 l/100 km [166.2 – 176.6 mpg imp] and 25,5 – 25,0 kWh/100 km according to WLTP; CO2 emissions, weighted, combined: 39 – 37 g/km according to WLTP; fuel consumption with discharged battery: 10,3 – 10,2 l/100 km [27.4 – 27.7 mpg imp] according to WLTP; CO2 classes: weighted, combined B, with discharged battery G) maximum output of 535 kW/727 hp and peak system torque of 1,000 Nm (737 lb-ft).

The combination of a high-revving V8 engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology and an electric motor, plus power transfer courtesy of an eight-speed M Steptronic transmission and M xDrive all-wheel drive, enables acceleration of 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.5 seconds.

If you would like to consider a new BMW M5 or any other model in BMW’s lineup, contact Snows BMW for more information or to arrange a test drive.
